No list of back to school necessities is complete without Crayola crayons; they are a staple in and out of the classroom. Now they are the norm in the sewing room as well!
The geniuses working at that colorful company have developed “Fabric Crayons.” All you have to do to use them is draw whatever you want to transfer to fabric onto paper, then iron it onto the fabric of your choosing. Go crazy with it! Personalize everything from T-shirts and scarves to backpacks.
A few days a go we posted our J&O Sewing Tip of the Day on Facebook. In it we mentioned the option of using your standard grey padded ironing boards in more creative ways than just to press your garments. By merely lowering the height of the board, it can also double as extra work space when needed. Place near your sewing station for quick and easy transfer of pattern pieces, fabric, or just your basice notions. The extra bonus…press your seems right there instead of traveling away from your ‘post’ and cutting into valuable sewing time. Seems from the response we got, we weren’t the only ones who saw the same potential in our trusty modern day original Sarah Boone boards. Many seamstresses have been maximizing the use of their ironing boards for years with much convenience and success.
